Thank you . I accessed the infornation. Sorry to say we cant afford $55G per year. Its going to be in-state school for my kiddo…
Middle class:in state. Every other college gave money. Rutgers is litterally only school with no aid - merit or otherwise.
@enippsfam Add Penn State to the list. Son was accepted, $50k/yr for tuition housing etc, nice letter stating ZERO aid or merit, but happy to lend a federal guaranteed $5500 loan.
I’m out of state too and only got around $5000 for aid as well. and then another $5000 for a loan. I feel bad for my parents ): I was hoping they would help me out more especially being out of state. damn…
I’m OOS and I got $5500 in loans and $0 everywhere else. I’ve already committed to Rutgers, but it kinda sucks that they’re not giving me anything to help offset my OOS costs lol. Hopefully the $39k per year is worth it!
Loans are not aid. They are something that has to be repaid. $5,000 in loan per year out of almost $55,000 per year is both of you are getring into over quarter of a million dollar debt. FAFSA looks at Gross income (before deductions such as taxes and medical) as if its an income your parents actially bring home. It does not take into account living expences (housing uilities, car payments, insurances, food ). If its not asking about living expences its not counting them. FAFSA looks at savings that are not directly earmarked as pension plans.Thats why some whose parents tried to save for retirement get zilch in actual aid. That is why our family did not make any commitments to any school untl we saw financial package. I am prepard to raid half of my savings with hope that my kiddo will have reasonable or no loans. My kiddo took one look and said no. His 1st difficult responsible adult decision on turning 18 ?. Three of our In state schools besides being less expensive offeres up to $5000 merit scbolarship per year for next 4 years as long as he keeps up his GPA. We loved Rutgers and it has the program he wants but the whole point of getting education is to have a better earning ability, not a forever debt. Best of luck to you all
Got $20k merit scholarship, $0 in need based aid. Also in state
Hi everyone!
I applied to Rutgers RD.
I got accepted last night.
Can anyone tell me when can i recieve information on scholarships?
I didn’t apply for need -based, but will i still get merit-based?
Hi all… Son got $3500 scarlet scholarship plus SAShonors program thru RBS… Will try to change his honors program thru SAS instead of RBS. Else, can do school transfer after 1st Semester or 1st year. Pathetic merit scholarship this year,
1520 SAT, 4.0 Weighted good ECs
we are OOS. Son got into Engineering Honors College and today he got $10k Merit aid/year… Coming to around 45k per year after the merit aid.
@CS_Parent I don’t believe it’s possible to transfer any honors decisions from one school to another (asked the admissions lady on Go Rutgers because I was hoping I could). She said honors invitation are nontransferable and specific to each school. However she also mentioned that students can apply for the SASHP beginning their sophomore year (the award is called the SAS Excellence Award) if you maintain a 3.7 GPA. (And apparently a scholarship comes with that as well that can raise in value yearly)

@HSinLI Hi! (Sorry for such a late response) Go-Rutgers is this social media like page solely for Rutgers students. There should’ve been an email sent with the registration link shortly after you got your acceptance. If not here’s the link: http://www.go-rutgers.com/profiles/members/
